Finally! Mimi is emancipated by hot new video
Sometimes, Mariah gets it wrong ("H.A.T.E. U"? H.A.T.E.D. those freakin swimsuits. "I Want to Know What Love Is"? I want to know why you're in a baseball stadium full of sad people). And then - she gets it so right. In the new video for "Up Out My Face" from her upcoming duets remix album Angels Advocate, due March 30, there are so very many things to love: the color scheme (Target ad? White Stripes tribute?); the nonsensical (but sexical!) nurses' outfits and Barbie boxes; rising Lil Wayne protege Nicki Minaj getting red, white, and saucypants all over; Nick Cannon (he also directs the clip) reprising his Drumline stomp in the outro. They wear silly outfits, they make silly faces; they have fun.
Wasn't that delicious? Do you not want to put Minaj in your pocket? Are you fonder of Nick Cannon than you were five and half minutes ago? (He also directed his wife in another new video, the less-than-scintillating Ne-Yo collaboration "Angels Cry", but we are letting that one slide; it is a forgiveness kind of day.)
